The fun begins the moment you enroll. Immediately after you sign up, you'll receive:

An "Early Lesson" - a sneak peak to help you begin learning new principles;

Orientation assignments; and

Other fun projects and tools to help you make the most of your online experience.

This will allow you to learn how the system works at a leisurely pace. You'll immediately begin making new friends in our world-wide community. You may even win an "Editor's Pick", finalist, or Grand Prize in our monthly photography contest. And that's just the beginning... you're going to love the BetterPhoto online learning environment. I guarantee it and look forward to seeing the stunning photos you create.

On the day that class officially begins, you will be emailed Lesson 1 with the first assignment. You'll then have either a week (for a 4-week course) or 11 days (for an 8-week course) to complete the assignment.
